"Mr President, Mrs Lehtomäki, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, during the discharge for the 2004 Budget in April, Parliament, on two occasions, made very explicit statements with regard to the European Agency for the Reconstruction of the former Yugoslavia and Kosovo. This House explicitly stated, and I quote: ‘that this Agency should not be phased out according to a previously determined schedule, but that its dismantlement should depend on economic and political pre-conditions and developments. That, however, is precisely how the Commission is now choosing to phase out the Agency in question, and to hand over its tasks to the delegations. Five months after Parliament’s resolution, five months after Parliament’s explicit statements, the Commission is taking no notice of what we said. I should like to ask Commissioner Rehn why he ignores this statement by Parliament. Why does he choose to let the expertise that is present in the Agency melt away like snow in the sun? Why does he not choose to use the people who are currently working for the Agency in Pristina as a first core of EU people who will soon be able to guide Kosovo's independence from very close range and with much expertise and know-how? That is what I want him to tell us."@en1
